Damn!
Wishing you the best on a speedy recovery.
That's gonna make for some awesome scars though
You know, chicks dig scars.
Seriously, sorry to hear it, and looks gruesome - not sure how you're even managing to type on here.
Hope they get you back to full functioning.
I've lost some function in my hands over the years due to work injuries, and it does hold you back.
Hope the pain subsides and all gets back to OEM on your hand."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

Being in the auto service business for 30 yrs, I will say that compressed coil springs are by far the scariest thing I know. Potential energy that wants to reach out and hurt you badly.
Heck, I even chain the suckers to my bench mounted spring compressor before squeezing them and binding them with steel clamps.
It is definately one job I do not like doing.
Hope all heals well. keep it clean, dry and pain relieved because I suspect today and tomorrow are really gonna hurt.

11-28-2009 12:22 PMMost of the people in this litigious nation would think otherwise as would a bottom feeding attorney.
I think like you, generally there is something that could have been done differently to alter the outcome of the event, most of the time it's within our abilities to take the proper precautions. Unfortunately our judicial system has run amok and this is not the case anymore.

Not trying to start a fight here but....I recently recalled a tool, I had sold 34 of them.It was a tool to remove the spark plugs on the new Ford 3 valve triton motor.Long story short I had 3 Break off in the head causing a worse problem than the tech started with.The reason they broke was some of the early shafts were to hard (brittle) and had an alignment hole drilled to far into the shaft.I broke a few intentionally and I was shocked how easy they broke.The company that made them knows this but they say they have no way to track which ones had the early shaft.So they are taking no action.I agree that we as a country are sue happy but you also have to be held accountable for your actions.When you knowingly sell a product that is defective you should be responsible for any injury's.

11-28-2009 10:24 PMI had a Snap-On spring compressor break on me one time also. It is best to use a jack and the weight of the truck to get those springs in and out. They can be a pain. Jeff Wurl

11-29-2009 06:12 AMWOW!! Hope you have a complete recovery.
Springs scare the chit out of me. A friend was helping me compress one on my Chevelle when it sprung out of the clamps. Ricocheted off the shop floor between our heads leaving a nasty gouge in the concrete. We were very lucky.
